Any one else ever have one of these pop up? This is my moms plant, it is several years old and has always produced normal flowers. This year it produced a set of conjoined flowers and oddly enough, a short while later, it produced another set of conjoined flowers. Anyone know if it was just a fluke or if the plant will produce conjoined flowers in the future?
Sure looks like fasciation

Seems to be more common in rudbeckia that echies, but I had one on Paradoxa this year. No 100% guarantee that you won't have it again, but it seems to be more of a cosmetic problem
That is awesome! In a weird way, it's beautiful :) I'm glad you were able to get a pic and share, thanks. I have never had something like this happen to any of my coneflowers, but I did have 2 sunflowers growing out of the same stalk this year... I don't know if that's more normal than your event, but I thought it neat!
